>Jesse_Day: EGINNOU 8D GUENON +18 18
#note the optimal leave of EGIN is not good enough to trade to
>Matt_Canik: AHILOOO 7G OHO +19 19
#note Top or bottom?
>Jesse_Day: AAEEEIN D7 A.EE +5 23
#note dual-commented game (comments here are jesse's, matt's on matt's turn). Seth pointed out an interesting fact...2 vowel-1 consonant leaves are worse than often thought - usually improved by dumping the extra vowel. So keeping EN better than AEN on exchange. Q thinks I bingo enough next turn to make my play worthwhile.

>Matt_Canik: ADLMOUX A7 MAX +51 232
#note A decision to be made between ALMUD and MAX. I had counted ALMUD as 33 and decided on MAX, but it's actually 39. Sim puts it ~2.5 points ahead. The X is fairly valuable on this board because of 5E and 3G, but there are also tons of bingo lines available and I don't really want to be stuck with nonbingo tiles. If I had counted ALMUD correctly, I think I would have played t.
>Jesse_Day: ACEGTTY A12 GA.Y +36 266
#note no o for cottagey
>Matt_Canik: DEHLOUW B10 WO +29 261
#note I didn't notice HOWE 9F for 34, which wins the simulation by about a point. HOW 9F in the same spot and WHO 6F also sim slightly ahead of this.
>Jesse_Day: CDEESTT 6F DETECTS +82 348
>Matt_Canik: DDEHILU 3G HID +24 285
#note Opens a bingo line in the 2 row that's hard for him to deal with withoug giving me a lot back.
>Jesse_Day: AEENSUV 2I AVENUES +89 437
#note Matt sez: He said after the game that it probably wasn't the right decision to open a 3x3 line here to score one more point, even if it's really improbable I can actually hit it. I think I agree. JD sez: the 1 point can't be worth it, I will almost be certain to burn equity to block the 3x3 later.
>Matt_Canik: DEELRUZ 1G ZED +44 329
>Jesse_Day: ILQRSTT M1 Q.ILT +28 465
>Matt_Canik: ?CELRRU K1 R.CUL.uRE +70 399
>Matt_Canik: ?CELRRU -- -70 329
#note SCURRILE and TRUCKLER are words I didn't know. I figure I have to try and play this, as it's the only way I can see to win the game.
>Jesse_Day: ABFORST 4L F.AB +24 489
>Matt_Canik: ?CELRRU F11 RUL. +7 336
#note Maybe I can pull ISOBARIC 3x3 now, but I've pretty much just lost (again, don't know scurrile or truckler)
>Jesse_Day: AEMORST O4 .ROMATES +86 575
>Matt_Canik: ?BCEINR 11H BRuCINE. +72 408
#note BUNCHIER is 6 more.
